BababaBambi: Yet another.... A little(lot) bit of this and that post....
Lot of new photos for today though not many different activities. But did promise to have a post for the group this weekend and they just may be my current favorite J-Pop group. They really are a fun bunch of gals and the FUN part is what's been lacking in the world of J-Pop for a while. Back in January at the BababaBambi site they announced that there would be some changes coming to the group in March but gave no more info. At first was worried they would be disbanding but then they announced some dates for a Spring tour so knew they would be continuing on. So figured what would be happening is that there would be some new members and that's what the major change will be. Three new members will be coming aboard though won't discuss them today, know their names but that's it as there's no other info about the trio so hopefully will have some new in the next group post. Also am hoping for some upcoming solo posts and and noticed those tend to be a bit streaky.
Three members will be hitting the age of 27 this year so guess management is preparing for the future. Hope it's not wishful thinking but don't think the three have any plans on leaving the group soon. They really didn't begin their activities until July 2020 so they're still a youngish group and that's why I'm hoping everyone will stay for a while. The oldest is Mio 😍 who is their unofficial captain, on June 10th she'll be turning 27. But as I said don't think she will be leaving this year, to date for 2024 she has four solo posts and if she could get up to a dozen she'd be in the battle to be my #1 fave of the year! Her last post was done a week ago so the only new pics since then are these from her IG page.
White Day in Japan took place on March 14th, here's some newish pics for the day from the Maly Moon site where you can purchase the group uniforms.
Not much has been going on with Miyu and Usa so no section for them but you will new pics from them in two batches such as the above one. On February 7th the Strike! magazine released a special edition which featured all of the members paired up with some other woman, have already posted three of those sets. Which leaves two more and will begin off with Rui who was with some young gal I never heard of and her name is mentioned in the spread.
Saeko will also be hitting the age of 27 this year, for this special edition she was paired up with Yura Yura. She's with the Idol group YOYOYO and she does have a fair amount of gravure spreads but doesn't turn 22 until June, maybe after that will have a few posts for her.
We've already hit the end of this semi mini post, lot of new photos but not many activities. The dream of BababaBambi was to headline a concert at the famed Nippon Budokan and they did achieve that goal! For on March 14th they did headline a concert but sadly it wasn't streamed so hope it does come out on DVD. Have quite a few pics below from the show and will have more in solo posts. The group performed 23 songs and it's nice when a group of such likable gals have some good things happen to them. The last two pics show the arena and it does look sold out. The third to last pic features the three new members and as mentioned will have their info once they get added to the group site. Besides the group pics have solo ones for everyone which in order are of Mio, Miyu, Usa, Saeko and Rui. My one complaint about the group is that they don't have enough videos, for some reason they haven't had any new ones on their YT channel for eons. After the batch of pics do have one from January 17th and it features them preparing for their Zepp Diver City show, it could have also been in their last post.
